When I was a kid I liked to muse about relationships like these. Since I was a kid I imagined that there might have been a god that created the universe, and imagined that they were a bored kid like me perhaps making it as a school assignment.
So what if the god had turned the pi or e knobs to a rational number (presumably in a god’s universe knobs can be turned to precise irrational values). Would it have made our lives easier or harder (probably easier…?). Or what about the apparent size of earth/moon/sun when viewed from earth? It’s a great clue, but perhaps we would have known more about astronomy if that coincidence had not existed? (We would have missed out on that fabulous Connie Willis story though).
Maybe all those weird cosmological QM oddities and (literally obscure) imbalances needing mysterious dark matter are just due to bugs in a kid’s rushed assignment and actually don’t make sense?
But the irrationals…they led to the most musing.
